Re: Any anime lovers here?
Haha, I'm getting into it :P A friend of mine got Kasi and I hooked on 'Oraun High School Host Club' and 'Fruits Basket' (which I LOVE!) haha Some of my friends actually just got back from A-Kon down in TX. :P

Re: Any anime lovers here?
I LOVE ANIME! I rarely watch Television But I always watch anime. Where do you watch your's from? I rent anime dvd's from netflix.

Re: Any anime lovers here?
I've kinda watched Anime for a good 5 years now, but I wouldn't say that I was obsessed with it. Pretty much the only exposure to anime until recently was stuff that they would put on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim", so we're talking Trigun, Gundam Wing, Full Metal Alchemist,Inuyasha, Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf's Reign, and *gag* Dragon Ball Z.

Re: Any anime lovers here?
I watched it ten or so years ago... when Dragonball Z was hawt. Now, quite frankly, I hate it. I've done a lot of animation over the years and have found that anime cuts many corners that are in traditional cartoons. Like in an old Bugs Bunny cartoon, there could be maybe 30+ frames per second, where in anime, there would be 12 or so, which makes it choppy looking to a trained eye. ;) Now I can stand some of the more epic anime, like that movie "Princess Monoke" where the animation is smooth and very detailed. The background in the movie are great too. But stuff like yugioh and mess.... uuugghhh
I know, I'm a traditional animation nerd. :nerd: But hey, if you enjoy it, have fun! :) Nice job on the banner!

I watch Gundam seed from netflix, but mostly I read the mangas. I watched fruit's basket (I love that series too!) discs one and two (of four) on netflix, but then my parents got the DVDs for my birthday, which I love.

I've never actualy read host club, but I heard it's good and I adore Fruits Basket. I reicently bought book seven. *sigh* I wanted to go to A-Kon. . . :( My parents refuse to buy me manga books, but despite that I have:
HunterxHunter(my first manga ever) #s 1-14, they're really good. my 2nd favorite.
Fruit's Basket #s 1-7 almost tied w/ HunterxHunter for 2nd.
Naruto #s 1-2 I like watching the show rather than reading the books
.Hack//Legend of Twilight #1 The series seems pretty good so far, I havent read a lot though.
Trigun Maximum #1 My favorite anime series, It's really, really good.
Shows/movies I've watched and like enough to remember off the top of my head-
.Hack//roots- 4 3/4stars. I've watched the first few episodes and it's become my favorite TV show.
Naruto- 4 stars. Really, really good, but you have to start at the begining to really get into it.
Spirited Away- 4 1/2 stars.
Princess Mononoke- 5stars, my favorite anime movie.
Cat Returns- 5stars, my second favorite anime movie.
Howls Moving Castle- 3 1/2stars, it was pretty good

Re: Any anime lovers here?
I collect a little, but I'm pretty picky. I like good animation, a solid plot, and interesting characters which rules out most of them, LOL.
My collection consists of a bit of Ghibli stuff (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa, Pom Poko) as well as Escaflowne (series and movie), Serial Experiments Lain (rich and brilliant mindgame stuff), and Blue Sub 6. Have watched a lot of other stuff and didn't care for most of it...we used to do an anime night once a week here and friends would bring over different stuff so I've seen quite a few things but haven't committed them to memory.
I also have a weakness for AMVs and have lots and lots of those.

Re: Any anime lovers here?
I should get around to watching all of Serial Experiments Lain (I have one series of dvd's that I haven't finished).
I recently just finished Full Metal Alchemist. I haven't watched Ghost In the Shell Stand Alone Complex in a while, I'm behind on season 2. Some of my leos are actually named after Cowboy Bebop characters.
Somebody recommended Bleach to me, and I was kinda curious after seeing t shirts and stuff for it in the stores last month.
I never finished Kenshin and I don't think I ever saw all of Great Teacher Onyazuka.

Re: Any anime lovers here?
I was an anime fanatic for quite some time and am just getting back into it again. Some friends and I were so into it we wrote fan fiction. We were the ultimate nerds. Still are :(
some of my favorites from the order i love them the most...
Chobits (Own it)
Yu Yu Hakusho (Own the first box set but have seen all the episodes and OVA)
Full Metal Alchemist (Seen all but 2 episodes, and seen the movie)
Inuyasha (Seen all but 5 episodes and one movie)
Ghost in the Shell (Trying to catch up on 2nd Gig episodes, intending to buy the box set)
Cowboy Bebop (Seen all but 3 episodes, loved the movie, have the graphic novel box set)
.Hack (Seen all of the original series, but never got into the ones that followed. I only played the first game and never got into the others.)
DBZ (Seen all of the Buu saga as well as other episodes here and there)
I've seen a few episodes of Kenshin but never got attached to it.

Re: Any anime lovers here?
....no anime here.....but I do read comics (manga). Since I have a short attention span when it comes to reading but love to read, I generally have to read things that are quick before I lose interest (or fall asleep).....so I am limited to magazines and comics.
The manga is usually a few months ahead of the anime (and available free each week on the internet) ....So since I already know what is going to happen by the time the anime is out, why waste my time watching TV? ;)
Just a few manga that I am currently reading are.......Bleach, 666 Satan, Naruto, Black God, One Piece, and Superior. I believe Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece all have anime since they are the most popular of the bunch....
.....lmao....I am such a nerd.....

Re: Any anime lovers here?
I watched a little back in the day. Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z (i got bored by the time it got to Dragon Ball GT). I'm not ashamed to say, although my wife thinks I should be, that I watched Pokemon and YuGiOh. It wasn't like I was little either....I was in high school when I started watching YuGiOh lol.
I've watched a couple others, Initial D, Gundam, This other one about some chick with these invisiable hands that were sharp and would chop people up....forgot the name lol my wife showed me that one.
My wife was pretty into it. I never considered myself an Anime Fan, even though I liked a couple of anime shows. It's like saying I'm a Chick Flick Fan because I liked a couple of chick flick movies.
